IMPROVEMENT IN BASE-BURNING STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,534, dated July 16, 1872.

To all whom fit may concern:

Be it vknown that I, ALBERT C. CoRsE, of Troy, in the county -of Rensselaer and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawingmakingpart of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the same on a line extending from side to side. Fig. 3 is a like view of the same on a line extending from front to rear. Fig. 4. is a horizontal section 0f said stove on line x a: of Figs. 1, 2, and 3; and Fig. 5 is a like view on line y y of same iigures.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures.

The object of this invention isto increase the symmetry and compactness of a stove, and also to increase its draught 5 and it consists, principally, in the arrangement of the back or ascending flue `within the casing of the lower or fire-pot section, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter specified. It consists, further, in the construction and relative arrangement of the parts composing the lower or tirepot section substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter shown. It consists, further, in a divin g-lue situated wholly in front of the firepot, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In the annexed drawing, A represents the base, B the lower section, and C the mica section of a stove containing an ash-pit, D, firepot E, and combustion-chamber F, arranged in the usual manner. Between the interior of the casing B and the fire-pot E is left a space, which at the rear is inclosed by means of a flue, G, which from the base A extends upward to a point slightly above the vertical center of the mica section, from whence said flue extends rearward and upward, so as to form a back pipe, Q. From the ue G a ledge, H, extends horizontally between the upper edge of the fire-pot and the adjacent portion ofthe casing B, so as to close the space between the same, except at the front side, where is left a iiue, I, which extends downward to the plate A', that forms the upper side of the ash-pit,

.said flue with the back pipe G.

from whence said iiue opens laterally outward and downward into the side bottom flues K, and through the same communicates with the rear ascending-flue G. As thus constructed and arranged, it will be seen that the course of heated escaping products ot' combustion are down the front or diving flue, rearward through the side bottom flues, and then upward through the ascending or back flue into the exit-pipe, by which means the following results are obtained: The escaping gases are carrieddirectly to the front side and base of the stove, at which points their heat is most effective in warming the room; from thence said gases, with diminished temperature, pass into and through the side bottom tlues and into the rear ascending iiue, the front side of which is in contact with the fire-pot, and forms a part of the combustion-chamber, so that the tempera ture of said gases is again raised to or near their former degree, their volume correspondingly augmented, and the rapidity of their passage through said ascending flue and the exitpipe greatly increased; the eii'ect of such reheating of said gases being to materially improve the draught of the stove, and enable it to b e used in places where stoves of usual construction would not operate. The upper section L has a square form horizontally, and has arranged within its interior a correspondinglyshaped oven, M, between which and the sides, rear, and top of said section is left a space or ue, N, that communicates at its lower end with the combustion-chamber F, and at its rear side with a crosspipe, O, which connects A door, m, incloses the front side of said oven, and permits access to its interior when desired. Immediately below the oven M, and within the combustion-chamber F, is placed a magazine, l?, the upper end and front side of which extends forward through the casing, and is provided with an opening, P, for the admission of coal. As seenin Fig. 3, the front side of the magazine is extended inward, so as to give substantially the same space between the same and the adjacent portion of the mica section as is left between the sides of said magazine and section. By this arrangement of the oven andmagazine, each is rendered independent of the other, instead, as has heretofore been the the fire-pot E, the lues G and I, and the ledge H, substantially as and for the purpose shown.

3. In a magazine heating-stove, a diving' flue situated wholly in front of the tire-pot, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 22d day Oi May, 1872.
